Język autobiografii psychologów

Abstract

We often notice difficulties in using the language in therapeutic practice - especially if the language is supposed to be the basic instrument of relating one's own experiences. The similar (or even ,,more acute") situation occurs when the language is expected to serve as the only one medium of narrative transmission. The talk is of psychological documents, especially of autobiographies. Making use of collection of Polish psychologists' autobiographies (Xymena Gliszczynska, Jan Strelau, Kazimierz Obuchowski, Maria Przetaczmk-Gierowska, Wlodzimierz Szewczuk, Ziemowit Wlodarski, Lidia Woloszynowa), I show the fundamental rules of using the language in autobiographical narration. worked out by psychologists.
